Pros

This position was with a mature company delivering serious services for big global companies, which I am proud of. Duties were well defined and could be carried out with responsibility.

Cons

The way the company operated reminded me of the time during which dinosaurs roamed the globe. The company was not able to change, become more agile and innovative. Technological expertise gradually became extinct. There was no adoption of new technologies or management processes. Red tape and heavy processes wasted time and effort. Boredom and passiveness ruled.

Advice to Management

Instead of 'restructuring' the company by firing people who are doing their job while making an army of executives and higher managers even bigger, simplify, flatten, have some vision and enthusiasm for what one is doing. Adapt and change.
